The Regional Food System Partnerships grant opportunity seeks applicants to support partnerships that connect public and private resources to plan and develop local or regional food systems. The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service aims to strengthen food economy viability and resilience through pandemic response and recovery efforts. Eligible partnerships must demonstrate experience collaborating across sectors to implement innovative and measurable approaches that catalyze development of local or regional food economies. Applications will be evaluated based on the ability to coordinate efforts, set priorities, connect resources and services, and measure common goals. Applications are due May 14, 2024.
The Regional Food System Partnerships program assigned under CFDA #10.177 provides grant funding to qualifying partnerships. Recipients may apply for additional Local Agricultural Marketing Program funds on behalf of eligible producers and entities. Awards will support work performed within the determined size and scope of the local or regional food system where the partnership's goals and outreach objectives are carried out.
